I have learned that it is a joint effort – Institutions – Instructor – student, if there is no support from one of the parties, the application of active and online learning will not succeed, no matter how contributing it may be.
In the introductory class I will incorporate a brief explanation of what active learning entails and how they (students) can make the most of it and with confidence that they are learning and even more than with traditional learning; and become aware that the responsibility for their learning lies primarily with them.
